JOHCM poaches four-strong former Fidelity US equity team

The newly created JOHCM US team is comprised of Thorsten Becker, Arun Daniel and Vincent Rivers and trader Eric Yi, who ran a US small/mid cap core equity strategy for Pyramis, and will be based in Boston, Massachusetts.They left Pyramis at together at the end of next year. The team will also launch a global small and mid cap equity strategy 'in due course'.

Capacity for the US small and mid cap equity strategy has been set at $5 billion and it will be available to non-US investors via an Oeic, while US-based investors will be able to access it through a mutual fund and commingled fund, and will also be offered as a segregated strategy.

The team will use a core investment approach, managing a fundamental research-driven best ideas portfolio.
